Join or Support Arizona Safe Communities Coalition

Arizona Faith Network is proud to co-lead the launch of the Safe Communities Coalition, founded in partnership with ONE Community and numerous statewide faith, community, and nonprofit partners. This bold new initiative is dedicated to protecting diverse faith spaces and historically targeted communities through training, outreach, strategic monitoring, and rapid response.

With extremist threats and hate crimes rising—up 25% across Arizona in the past five years—the Coalition is a proactive response to ensure that all people, regardless of background or belief, can live, worship, and gather in safety. The Coalition supports crisis response and resilience-building for communities of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and religious minorities.

Thanks to support from the Vitalyst Health Foundation, the Coalition has named Paul Rockower as its inaugural Director, bringing expertise in public diplomacy, interfaith collaboration, and crisis management.

Join us in building safer communities for all.

Dugan Meyer, Ph.D. student in the University of Arizona’s School of Geography, Development and Environment, built the Tucson Migra Map in response to an influx of local ICE reports and sightings, from groups including Tucson’s Rapid Response Team and everyday Tucsonans using social media and online forums to document activity.

The map uses icons to document reports of ICE activity, including stakeouts, aerial surveillance, vehicle stops and raids. It also includes a heat map, with dark red areas indicating higher concentrations of reported ICE activity.

To Write Love On Her Arms

This wonderful website says YOU ARE WORTH THE EFFORT and, to demonstrate that point, they’ve assembled an Introductory Mental Health Toolkit that provides accessible mental health exercises tailored specifically for you.

They say, “Each tool is crafted to be completed in 5 to 20 minutes, making it an ideal starting point. After all, it’s not a matter of if life’s storms will come, but how we navigate through them when they do.”

Black Communities

Mental Health America

“Learning about the history of systemic racism duringBlack History Month –
and all year – in the mental health system and movement and how it
harms Black communities in the US and around the world is key for
creating a mentally healthier world.”

This is a non-exhaustive list of Black and African American mental health resources.
